"Merrill is very grateful to be back in her element, as she explained.
“This past year has been very difficult with my father passing away and then my daughter making a major transition, she moved from Texas to California to live with me.” Merrill described the past year as “an intense feeding frenzy of stress” as she had to manage handling her father’s estate, traveling back and forth to the East Cost, dealing with attorney’s, financial advisers and lots of fine print in heavy documents. “We don’t really consider death that much until it happens and even then we have no idea that it is a major upset.
